Anyone know of any student-led anti-GenAI campaigns in UK schools? My daughter hates the amount it gets used *by the school itself* and wants to do something…

@Floppy in my very limited experience the best way to influence a school is for a small highly motivated group, preferably with a teacher on your side, to directly lobby the head or leadership repetitively until they cave.
An environmental club might be a good candidate for this.
@Floppy
My contribution.
no AI, SVG, CC0.
@dotmavriq ooh excellent, this is pretty nearby as well.
Sitting here receiving 3-4 genAI pictures per week posted in the parent teacher communication app by the teachers
@Floppy What is the school using AI for? (Actual question.)
Like, automated instruction? Or back-end admin things (attendance reports etc). Grading and feedback? 😬
I bet we could come up with a creative intervention (that may or may not involve stickers). 😁
@Floppy @blogdiva Maybe @davidgerard knows something?
@schrotthaufen @Floppy @blogdiva not off the top of my head, I'd love to know tho

Badges! She could totally make and hand out badges, she's normally covered in pin badges anyway so we know it's not breaching uniform regs. Now I just need someone with a badge machine.
@Floppy Badges are a great idea!! With a good design, they'll be in massive demand (maybe sell to non-school peeps, too!?)
Are there any repair cafés, libraries, community groups, that kind of thing in the area, where badge-making might be a thing they do?
@Floppy my partner has one and would I'm sure be happy to help.
@Floppy
Would adhesive "name tag" style stickers on clothes work too? "Hello, my name is:" and they can write Anti-AI or whatever? At least until you can get a button maker?
@Floppy I think there are various 3d printable badge making gadgets - with varying levels of adapting other things - I see one that adapts a bench drill for example
@Floppy I don’t have a badge machine (yet) but will happily pay it forward if it helps to get some made. I don’t have kids, and my niblings are all home schooled, can you share what the schools using GenAI for?

@Floppy Stickers are punk ! is it not going over well with the school or with your daughter?
Maybe a nice activity is designing and test printing a few sticker styles with her - then deciding which ones are more effective and ordering some. She will quickly find out which students are on the right side of the problem :-)
@Floppy No but my kids would love to join in.
My suggestion of punk-style direct action and stickering isn’t going over *very* well…
@Floppy ahh great minds
@Floppy
I don't but we can perhaps start something.
